ATC theme for the rest of 2025

[pyjama princess]

Can I ask what we plan for the rest of this year?
Traditionally October has always been Halloween, November Christmas and December no swap. Are we doing that this year?
Also we're getting to some tricky letters of the alphabet. R, S, and T are straight forward but U, V, W, X, Y and Z are going to be a struggle. Could we perhaps combine a few of the letters in the same swap? So perhaps - U, V and W for one swap and X, Y and Z for another one? Just a suggestion. What do the three of you think? (Less face it - there's only ever 4 of us swapping ATCs LOL!)

Good idea PJP. August and September as the difficult letters swaps and October etc as per what we have been doing sounds good to me. What do you think Borderline and LJ?
(it would be fantastic if we got some more swappers)

?. August and September as the difficult letters swaps ?.

That would miss out some letters. Should it not be:
July - R
August - S
September - T
October - Halloween
November - Christmas
December - on a break
January - U, V and W
February - X, Y and Z.
Happy to do whatever the 4 of us agree on.

Although I agree October Halloween
As that will be my bi monthly swap theme
No monthly November swap so so maybe sparkle for the ATC coincide with firework night
Although they start in September till Feb round here lol
December swap is Christmas so maybe do Christmas ATC?s at same time
Think I will struggle do the Alphabet for another year
But I?m happy to go with what the rest of you wish to do
I?m have been to Cornwall for a week for a wedding came back for a few days ,now on isle of wight till Monday
Had my ATC?s ready for postman to collect Saturday but he never came
Royal Mail refunded me postage today
But they won?t go on post now till Tuesday
But still by the deadline

I am not going to set the alphabet for another year LJ, I agree. We can finish this first round, then I will have new themes. When I first took on the co- ordinator role I made a spreadsheet going back a long way so I will try to avoid repetition except for when we like it e.g. Christmas, Easter if everyone is happy with that.

I am happy to go along with these ideas or any other suggestions. R,S and T are all fine on their own and combining UVW then XYZ should work. Interspersed with holiday themes is perfect. If Pink Pig and everyone is agreeable I have some ideas that should see us through next year. Definitely not the alphabet again!

Fabulous Borderline!
